isn't it lonely

I cannot thank the insanely talented crew who worked on this video enough. This video was put together in JUST ONE WEEK. Directed by the one of the most hardworking and talented people I’ve ever met, Will Martinko, we got to bring this song to life and tell a story: you can stand up for yourself. you have power. you are so valued. — And that face in the video with me should look familiar...😉 that’s the incredible Chris Cachuela who produced, mixed, and mastered the track Chaplin's! — I hope you can all connect with this song in some way ❤️

Additionally, Garcia won the Philadelphia Songwriters Project's Annual contest in 2015 with her song "Better Life". Her song "Sincerely, Me", also featured on her newest album, won the 2018 "93.7FM Hometown Heroes: Homey Award" for best Pop song.

Garcia continues to perform at various venues and has opened for notable artists such as GRAMMY Nominee Crash Test Dummies, American Idol Finalist Bucky Covington, and the eighth season winner of "the Voice", Sawyer Fredericks.
